The Cleveland Guardians need some of the younger players on the 40-man roster to step up in 2026 and lead the team to success. One player who manager Stephen Vogt said put on 14 pounds and is poised for a big year is Kyle Manzardo.

The Cleveland Guardians have been quiet all offseason, making a few subtle additions to the bullpen. But manager Stephen Vogt thinks the way the offseason panned out may have set the team up for success, rather than failure.

RubberDucks baserunner Travis Bazzana takes off for third base against the Altoona Curve on April 13, 2025, in Akron, Ohio.

News

Rushing top prospect Travis Bazzana back from injury, vaulting him into the majors and hoping he can tread water long enough to keep his head above water isn't realistic for a player of his magnitude. He should spend all of 2026 in Triple-A.
